SPEAKERS
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Street Car Takeover
Street Car Takeover brings its cars, its culture, and its crowd to HPX… and then they keep the party going! Meet the SCT team on the show floor, join the pre-party Friday night, and head to zMAX Dragway June 5 – 6 for the full Street Car Takeover experience.
Car Club Collective
The Car Club Collective: Top Ten brings ten handpicked clubs to the HPX show floor, each represented by a single signature build. Classics, muscle, JDM, exotics, and everything in between. Because car culture doesn’t belong in a parking lot. It belongs here.
Shop Car Challenge
The HPX Shop Car Challenge is exactly what it sounds like… top shops, their best recent customer builds, and two awards on the line. The People’s Choice goes to the crowd. The Top Builder Award goes to whoever earns it from the builders themselves.
Recruiting Hub
The HPX Recruiting Hub, sponsored by Hendrick Motorsports, puts students and job seekers in the room with the schools and professionals who shape this industry. Resume reviews, headshots, networking, and everything you need to build a career in performance.
Automotive Leadership Conference
The Automotive Leadership Conference is a high-impact, half-day experience designed for owners, executives, and decision-makers ready to scale smarter, lead stronger, and build more profitable businesses.
Women’s Em[POWER]ment Summit
The Women’s Em[POWER]ment Summit brings together women across the performance racing and automotive industry for an energizing, interactive morning of leadership development, reflection, and practical planning.
PerformancePLUS Competition
The PerformancePLUS Competition gives attendees a front-row seat to the newest performance products and technologies entering the market. Taking place in the HPX Theater, this fast-paced, high-energy showcase brings innovation to life through live, head-to-head product presentations.
PowerTalks
Designed for busy professionals, these high-impact talks happen right on the show floor and focus on practical strategies, real-world experience, and measurable results you can put to work immediately.
